Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 Introduces More Ways to Play With New Backyard Battleground

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PopCap Games, creator of some of the world's most beloved video game
franchises and a division of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA),
today announced Backyard Battleground, an all new dynamic hub in Plants
vs. Zombies™ Garden Warfare 2. This interactive environment
connects players to every map and mode, and brings to life all new ways
to experience the Plants vs. Zombies universe through solo and social
play. As soon as the game starts, players will be immersed in a wild
playground with dynamic events and tons to discover and do. They can
invite up to three friends into their Backyard Battleground to do almost
anything they want - take on daily quests, complete missions for Crazy
Dave and Dr. Zomboss, interact with some of their favorite Plants vs.
Zombies characters, ignite an all-out war by crossing over enemy lines
and much more. The Backyard Battleground is an immersive hub unlike
anything that has been in a Plants vs. Zombies game before.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 is partnering with BioWare™
on an intergalactic pre-order*. Fans who pre-order the game will get
access to a new Grass Effect Z7-Mech when they start Garden Warfare 2.
Crafted by Dr. Zomboss, and inspired by one of the development team's
most favorite videogame franchises, this mech will help ensure
Zomburbia's galactic future. Gamers will have a blast playing with what
was built to be the best-looking bane of plants everywhere. The Z7-Mech
comes strapped with tools like the melee Zomni-tool, as well as
interlocking ceramic plate armor with kinetic padding. This character is
designed to augment tech, biotic, and weapons damage.

The battle for Suburbia reaches crazy new heights in Plants vs.
Zombies Garden Warfare 2. For the first time in franchise history,
zombies have taken over Suburbia and plants are on the attack. Each
faction has enlisted new characters to join the fight, including Rose,
an all-powerful sorceress from the past that can turn zombies into
playable goats and Captain Deadbeard, a crusty pirate that has been
adrift for hundreds of years. All the over-the-top fun takes place
across 12 new immersive maps that are bursting with personality and
humor, spanning everything from a Time Travel Theme Park to Moon Base Z. Plants
vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 taps into the heart of what fans loved
about the original and goes above and beyond to deliver the funniest,
craziest, most over-the-top shooter.

Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2 ships in Spring 2016 and is
in development at EA Canada in Vancouver. The game is available on Xbox
One, the all-in-one gaming system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4
computer entertainment system and Origin™
for PC. Garden Warfare 2 has not yet been rated by the ESRB or
PEGI; visit www.esrb.org
